💗😊"8 Respectful Routines" 😊💗

Saw this post by Catlin Tucker and liked the suggestions for classroom routines. Most of these are just good reminders and much of what you're already doing. I see a lot of you rocking something similar to #4 with student chromebooks already. Sometimes we ask students to close the lid, angle the lid closed slightly, hands on head etc. ~Whatever it takes to shift the focus to the speaker, whether it be another classmate, a guest speaker or you!

"Screens 45", "Lids Closed" or anything else that is a lil more fun and catchy
As with any expectation, be sure to practice whatever phrase or strategy you go with and
discuss what that looks-like/sounds-like/feels-like.

Please share if you have a routine, phrase or strategy that you love

We grow from helping one another

As always, give us a shout if you want to explore ideas together.

Have an awesome rest of your week!

AdobeSpark for EDU

Hey All! Came across this post by Sarah Kiefer and wanted to share.

We've shared Adobe Spark before, but it's definitely worth a look if you haven't explored it yet.

In any curricular area, you and your students can create awesome :

• Graphics

(info-graphics, posters, collages, memes, character quotes, poetry, famous quotes,

add captions & labels to an image, selfie showcase, vocabulary, etc etc etc).

Matt Miller has some great examples in this post. and also on Adobe's site here.

• Videos (slide shows too)
• WebSites

It comes with a library of images to choose from, but students can also upload their own.
It looks like many already come from the Public Domain as Pixabay pops up as one of the options
when searching for images.  

Of course, much of this can be accomplished with other tools too, even our Google Apps!
However, AdobeSpark makes it a breeze with preloaded images for your students to create,
create, create and share their knowledge!! One more tool for your toolbox.

Take or Toss ~ Let us know if you want to explore together.
